HL7 v2 and healthcare X12

Read and write HL7 v2 messages and healthcare X12 documents themselves, building on the X12 translator, not just the flat files they are converted to.

Planned Jun 2027 - Jul 2027 (estimate) EDI & healthcare

Today DataBridge works with the flat files that a separate tool produces from HL7 and healthcare X12 messages. This item lets DataBridge read and write the messages themselves.

It builds on the X12 translator (RM-39), which handles the X12 envelope and acknowledgments first. HL7 v2 and the healthcare X12 documents follow it.

Why we are doing this

Hospitals, clinics and payers exchange HL7 v2 and X12 messages. Today you need another tool to turn each message into a flat file before DataBridge can map it.

What is included
  • Read and write HL7 v2 messages such as ADT, ORM and ORU
  • Read and write healthcare X12 documents such as 837, 835 and 270/271
  • Shared envelope and acknowledgment handling with the X12 translator
What is not included
  • A compliance certification, or a guarantee that a payer will accept a claim
  • Every healthcare validation rule in the first release. We scope these separately
  • Sending and receiving over healthcare networks. DataBridge works with files
